Prerequisites
The Transducer page is only available when you have a TP90 transceiver installed on your TV80 system.
How to open
This page is located in the Installation dialog box. To open, select it on the Setup menu. Use the transducer icon of the TP90 block diagram on the I/O Setup to open the Transducer page.
Description
Use the Transducer page to control the ITI transducer parametres. The Transducer page consists on two groups and an additional Diagnostics button.
Transducer
The Transducer group allows you to modify the rotation angles of the sensor.
Rotation Around X
Rotation Around X represents the rotation angle of the transducer in a fore-and-aft direction.
Rotation Around Y
Rotation Around Y represents the rotation angle of the transducer in an athwartship direction.
Rotation Around Z
Rotation Around Z represents the rotation angle of the transducer in a vertical direction.
Default
The Default button sets the setting to its default values.
3D View
The purpose of the 3D View group is to visually inspect the rotation angles of the transducer. Use the mouse to control the 3D presentation.

Diagnostics
The Diagnostics button opens the Transducer Diagnostics dialog box. The Transducer Diagnostics dialog box shows the electrical characteristics of the transducer. Use the graphs on the dialog box to check for open or short circuiting of any of the transducer elements. Voltage and current are measured for a number of different frequencies. At each frequency, the impedance of the transducer is calculated from the voltage and current measurements.
Verifying the functionality is the best way to check that the installation is correct, as there is no perfect chart. However, Current values below 0.1 or Impedance values close to 1000 or higher are likely indicators that the installation is incorrect and must be rewired.
